Changkhali Zero Point

চ্যাংখালি জিরো পয়েন্ট

Changkhali Zero Point in Jibannagar, near the Jhenaidah border, faces Medinipur in India across the line. Calm green farmland flanks the border road — visitors say that hushed green is the whole attraction. One traveller explains the name comes from the nearby 'Birat Khali' family homestead.

History & significance

As a border area this route carries dense memories of the 1971 war — though the zero point itself is known simply as an ordinary border crossing point.

How to get there

Bus from Chuadanga to Jibannagar, then hire a local auto/motorbike to Changkhali — it's a rural route, so ask locals for directions.
